Specification forming part of Letters Patent o. 64,758, dated May 14,1867.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAvrD GATES, of Captina Post Office, Belmont county,State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Churns; andI dol hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof,reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in Which-Figure l represents a side elevation of the churn; Fig. 2, a verticalsection of the churn 5 Fig. 3, a top view of the radial dashers; Fig. 4,a front elevation of the churn and devices.

A A represent the ordinary crank, toothed Wheels, and ily-wheel attachedto an upright frame, B, to give rapidity of motion to the upright pitmanand shaft C.

The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement and constructionof the two radial dashers fitting closely to the inside of the churnwith the posts P P P and tube M; also, the Inode' of bracing the churnfirmly on the outside to the frame.

D represents a cross-brace, against which the churn E rests. The churn Eis made of staves, straight on the inside and inclined on the outside.The circular dashers Gr have radial apertures or arms H, the arms H onthe lower dasher beingopposite to the apertures on the upper dasher, theperipheries oi' the two dashers G working closely up and down againstthe inner straight side ofthe churn E, so as to vforce the cream throughthe apertures and against the arms H las they move up and down,thoroughly breaking the cream, and the dashers G are Supported by threeupright posts, P P P. An adjustable cross-piece, J, that fits into themortise or notch K of another adjustable brace, L, holds the churn rmlyto its place during the operation of churning. The shaft G works in atube, M, and the lower dasher G operates upon the tube M, so as tooperate the dashers perfectly perpendicular.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The construction ofthe radial dashers G, with center tube M, between theposts P P P and cross-braces J and L, when constructed, arranged, andoperated as herein described, and for the purposes set forth.
